Disney Interactive exec hopes that Mario will meet Mickey Mouse one day
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 21 Comments
Nintendo characters are crossing over with a third-party toys-to-life game in Skylanders SuperChargers. So what about a Nintendo partnership with Disney?
Disney Interactive vice president of production John Vignocchi told IGN, “Hopefully, the day Mario meets Mickey Mouse is not that far away.”
John Blackburn, Disney Interactive’s Avalanche Software vice president and general manager, also joked that the dream team will happen whenever Disney CEO Bob Iger “buys Nintendo.”

Iwata again says that the Nintendo Digital Event will cover titles through early 2016, no NX, QOL, or smart device games
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Mobile, News, Switch, Wii U | 13 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. Fully translated tweets:
[Iwata] Originally, the Media Briefings (press conferences) were attended not only by reporters but also by security analysts, distributors and game industry staff—but now that Internet broadcasting is commonplace, many videogame fans can now watch them, too.
[Iwata] On the other hand, the information sought by reporters present at the press conferences can vary greatly depending on their viewpoints. As a result, every year saw the difficulty of pleasing everyone increase. That’s when we settled for a new format to convey information. With the Nintendo Direct format, our E3 has greatly evolved in the last 2-3 years.
[Iwata] This is the back story as to how the Media Briefing changed into the Nintendo Digital Event. During the Digital Event broadcast, we also have distributors gather and open a conference specially dedicated to them.
[Iwata] During our financial results briefing on May 8th, we talked about how we won’t announce anything about the new NX hardware until next year, and how we don’t have plans to showcase our QoL (Quality of Life) business or smart device announcements at E3, which we at Nintendo consider a trade fair for console games. However, perhaps these statements may not reached out as far as we had hoped.
[Iwata] For this year’s Nintendo Digital Event, we will use the occasion to showcase Wii U and 3DS software that is expected to release this year and early next year. It will be voiced in English with Japanese subtitles. This year, I’d like to join you all in Japan to watch the broadcast together. (Note: The second half of that tweet obviously pertains only to Japan.)
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has reconfirmed what fans should and shouldn’t expect from the Digital Event today. You know, just in case you needed a reminder.
Once again, Nintendo will be focusing on games launching through early 2016. This applies to both Wii U and 3DS.
As mentioned previously, there will be no talk about Nintendo’s next system known as the “NX”. There also won’t be any news about the Big N’s Quality of Life initiative or smart device games.
That’s it! Iwata will be watching along from Japan as the Nintendo Digital Event airs. He’ll probably be tweeting throughout the day as well.

Nintendo Digital Event expected to be an hour or less
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 74 Comments
Nintendo of Europe’s Twitch channel gives us a rough time length for tomorrow’s Digital Event.
Based on the schedule shown, it should be an hour or less. That’s because the Digital Event is taking place at 6 PM in Europe, which is then followed by the Treehouse stream at 7 PM.
Last year’s Digital Event was 47 minutes long, and was packed with a number of new announcements. It’ll be interesting to see what Nintendo has in store for us tomorrow!
